Any topic (writer’s choice)

January 21, 2020 1 Comment APA, Health Care and Life Sciences

Research critique paper Students will choose a topic/ patient situation from the provided list in the course. Students should format a PICO question based on the chosen scenario to guide the search. The PICO question should be included in the introduction to the paper to indicate the problem that the student will address.

The paper should consist of a thorough review of the literature with the table of evidence used as an appendix. Students should also include a discussion on how the literature can be applied to the patient situation using the information in the Greenhalgh text. The paper should be set up in paragraph format and flow smoothly.

Then the next part should be a summary of the articles used- this summary should include the results and any limitations of the study. The next section should be the application of what you researched to the chosen scenario patient. Be as detailed and descriptive as possible. Then you should have a conclusion to sum everything up.
You also need to have a strong PICO to guide your research. Otherwise you can easily get off track. Remember the PICO is:
P- population
I- intervention
C- comparison
O- outcome

Discussion 1: Ethical Leadership

January 21, 2020 3 Comments Information Systems

Leaders are exposed to many different sources of ethics education and training. For instance, MBA and other academic programs often have a specific course or learning outcome devoted to ethical practice, organizations often require ethics training for all employees, especially leaders, and there are numerous ethical guidelines that exist that can help leaders avoid ethical violations. However, some leaders continue to commit ethical violations, which raises questions about the root causes of such behavior. As observed with Enrons corporate leadership, known for one of the largest corporate bankruptcies in American history due to deceptive financial practices, the repercussions for unethical leadership may be irreparable
